Is it just me or is stevie getin torn up almost everynight. Nash dropped a pair of spectacular games(30+pts 10+asts) on him and so did Davis(same thing). And then last night, when steve doesnt play, David shoots 7-22 and only scores 16 points. Francis is doin everything else right but i think his defense is something we need to worry about. Anybody else feel this way?
Yeah I noticed Tinsley had a career night against him also. I think part of it has been his health and another part of it is that players get up to go against the best. Remember Craig Elhoe (sp?) made a name for himself playing against MJ. Of course he sucked every other night of the year.
Francis gives the old Ole effort on Defense, he lets he does not pressure the ball at all. Francis is only playing on one side of the court, and it ain't defense. DaDakota
I wouldn't say that he just doesn't try hard on defense, afterall he is leading our team in rebounds, it's just that he doesn't have good technique when guarding the man with the ball. If he worked on this, we would have more fast-break points and his stats would go way up.
Right now, his migraines are a more major concern. Also, everytime I see Steve hustling on D, and it's not often, he gets SO tired that he loses his rhythm on offense.
